We are saddened to learn of the passing of Seattle trailblazer Johnny O’Brien.
Not only was he a @seattleumbb legend, but he was also a former King County commissioner, MLB player and worked in sales and promotions at the Kingdome. He was a champion of our community.
Johnny O’Brien, who helped put Seattle University and the city on the national sporting map in the early 1950s, died late Friday night at age 94. https://t.co/PYGDB05ZYV
Word out of #STLCards camp is that the sweeper thrown by newcomer Riley O’Brien on Saturday had 21 inches of horizontal break, per a source. Another key element: He threw it at 84 mph just behind a fastball that was at 98 mph.
A closer look at O’Brien:
